It's more that they have the ability to control the pressurisation manually in case the automatic system fails.
Ultimately the pilots have to be able to turn anything off that might malfunction.
Also even if you (try to) take capabilities away they are by definition quite smart people and could probably figure a way round if they really wanted to.
The difference between Science and Religion is not proof, because nothing is ever really proved in Science.
The difference is that for Science there are clear criteria for dis-proof.
A science fact is a fact not because we proved it but because we have repeatedly failed to disprove it.
So if there is an answer to the question what would it take for you to disbelieve in X. its Scientific if there is no answer it is religion
There is an answer to the question: what would it take for you to stop believing in the 1st law of thermodynamics? Everyone pretty much agrees what it would take and it has never happened.
So to thw case in point. What would it take for someone to disbileve that we are in a simulation. Answer Nothing because you can always assume a more complex simulation. Ergo it falls in the realm of religion.
>Not really. It depends on the quality of the measure and any underlying assumptions. If the target is knowing who is the fastest then a simple stopwatch (measure) is 100% aligned with the target. So the measure becoming the target is completely fine.
I am thinking of how runners all lean forward just before the finish line. This must slow their overall speed but gets a part of their body to the measurement datum slightly quicker.
I admit its not a huge deviation between the measurement and the target but still it is an attempt to affect the measurement by means other than running fastest
In aviation it does not work like that usually.
Supplier provides a full BOM including all labour and invoices for materials.
Company pays x% over the top of the costs
This would still be digital (discrete) not analog. For example you can have 4 voltage levels representing 00, 01, 10, 11
This technique is used in modems.
So you can store more information in each memory location resulting in higher density.
in the 90's one search engine after another went this way. Each new engine worked for a while then advertisers started to game it and it gradually became useless.
It actually impressive that google has managed to avoid this flaw for so long.
The only thing I am not sure of is have advertisers finally found ways to game the system or is google doing it to themselves having forgotten why we all started using it in the first place.
I reckon that chat GPT will end up like the Douglas Adams HHGTG dystopian elevators at some point too :)
